Who hits the better helicopter shot, MS Dhoni or Hardik Pandya?

<p>With skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni in red-hot form, Chennai will start favourites against the slightly off-colour Mumbai when the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl-2019">Indian Premier League</a>'s two most successful teams have their first showdown of the season on Wednesday.</p>

<p>Chennai, three-time winners of the T20 League like the hosts, have been on a roll with three wins on the trot that have boosted them to the top of the table.</p>

<p>Mumbai, on the other hand, had a familiar stuttering start with a victory sandwiched between two defeats.</p>

<p>Recent history in head-to-head clashes is in Mumbai's favour, as the Rohit Sharma-led home team has beaten their rivals in four out of the last five contests.</p>

<p>Overall too Mumbai holds a 14-12 advantage over Chennai, including once in the defunct Champions T20 League.</p>

<p>However, Chennai seem to hold the edge this time around, especially with Dhoni rolling back the years with a typically robust 75 off 46 balls that lifted his team from 27 for three to 175 for five against Rajasthan at home in their last match.</p>

<p>And with Dwayne Bravo holding off Rajasthan's charge at the end with the ball, Chennai maintained their 100 per cent record.</p>

<p>Chennai&nbsp;have the edge in batting depth and in spin bowling variety, while Mumbai have the better pace attack on a pitch that is bound to offer bounce and carry.</p>

<p>Mumbai are over-dependent on openers Rohit and South African Quinton de Kock. The rest need to step up.</p>

<p>The hosts will have the option of fielding new recruit, West Indian fast bowler Alzarri Joseph, or all-rounder Ben Cutting in place of the off-boil Lasith Malinga.</p>

<p>In the spin department, Mumbai are behind their opponents who have Harbhajan Singh, South African Imran Tahir and Ravindra Jadeja to bank on after the power play.</p>
